Church of the Cross

Our mission at Church of the Cross in Erie, PA is to help children, youth and adults to be: “Loving God, Connecting with others, and Serving in Jesus’ name.”

We, the family of God at Church of the Cross,

called to faith by God’s grace,

united by the love of Christ, God’s Son,

empowered to serve by God the Holy Spirit, 

dedicate ourselves, our abilities and our resources,

to preaching, teaching, and living,

in obedience to God’s word, the Bible,

in order to allow God to equip us for every good work

and to multiply His ministry in this community and beyond.

We rejoice in our desire to fulfill this final command of Jesus to: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
